I like the proximity to the city centre, all the main supermarkets can be easily walked to, there's also good links to university, with a bus stop to DCU right across the road (which unfortunately did not turn out to be nearly as necessary as I had hoped). A green line Luas stop is also nearby.
My room is also well designed and spacious, the finishes are beginning to show their age a little but are still leagues ahead of many other accommodations. Overall I've had a very comfortable and productive year here and I'd be quick to recommend it to anyone.
